Chapter 491: The Immortal's Fighting Style

"Boom!!!"

As Baninger rushed into the side skirt armor of the 'Xiandeng' main battle tank despite the arc burning of the deflection force field, the next battle was unlikely to be suspenseful.

After receiving the highly confidential development task directly issued by Amber, the military industry department of Atlas has been wondering why they suddenly developed such an 'unmanned combat vehicle'. They suspect that their boss may have created an unmanned combat unit that is more advanced than the 'hive core'.

However, due to the confidentiality level and the extremely strict discipline within the Atlas Group in terms of confidentiality, the employees in the military industry department responsible for this development task also very rationally did not choose to ask more questions.

Instead, they focused on the development task and tried their best to meet the requirements put forward by Amber.

Among them was the confusing requirement of 'needing to have a high resistance to the derivative damage of the deflection force field of ground units'.

"What do you mean? Is this power armor for close combat?"

Although the members of the development team were still full of doubts about the usage scenario of this requirement, they finally realized the ability of this power armor and its attached weapons to "take a bath" under the deflection force field of main battle tanks or even HCP level by changing the main armor material and adding additional isolation interlayers.

Now, if these Atlas military developers can see the battle of the Immortal Legion, their doubts will naturally be solved.

Because the Immortals really know how to fight in close combat.

In the great plains or the combat areas with a lack of shelter, Baninger and his team should honestly use the performance of their own bodies and equipment to fight standard battles.

But after entering the urban area or the factory area similar to the urban street fighting, relying on the mobility of power armor and combat elements in a small range far exceeding other heavy armored units, Baninger and his team may choose more efficient close combat.

Just like now, when Baninger drove the Dreadnought into the deflection force field of the ‘Xiandeng’ main battle tank, the three main battle tanks of this armored platoon could not threaten Baninger for a while.

Not to mention the main gun and coaxial parallel machine gun, which could not hit Baninger at all.

The only thing that could successfully launch an attack was the remote weapon station on the top of the turret.

But the twin 25mm machine guns on it spewed flames, and after sweeping several rounds at the ‘Dreadnought’ power armor that was much taller than the main battle tank, except for sweeping a lot of sparks and leaving pits and marks on the outer armor, it did not cause any substantial damage.

Especially when the operator was very nervous because the tank was approached by someone, he controlled the weapon station in a panic to set the attack target to the front chest armor, which was the easiest to aim at but also the hardest, and even the relatively fragile head omnidirectional viewfinder was not damaged.

Then Baninger used the electromagnetic machine gun in his hand to clean up the weapon station, sighting equipment and other parts on the turret.

"The target has been locked, but it is too close to the friendly forces. Rash firing may cause damage to friendly forces!"

When Baninger broke through the wall of the building and successfully approached, another nearby "Xiandeng" main battle tank second-generation crew also saw this unit next to the friendly crew, which was a circle larger than the ordinary power armor, through the sighting equipment, and immediately panicked.

Although they have now aimed at the target, they dare not fire at this moment.

Not to mention that the friendly tank is still in the activated state of the deflection force field. This shot may seriously deviate from the target. Even if it can attack directly, it is difficult to avoid causing damage to friendly units at such a close distance.

Especially using a high-penetration weapon such as an electromagnetic reconnection gun to attack the relatively vulnerable side of the main battle tank.

And their hesitation also gave Baninger time to launch an attack.

An arc of electricity surged on the power glove on his left arm. After the electromagnetic force output by the power pack was converted into kinetic energy through the electromagnetic muscle bundle, Baninger punched the side of the main battle tank turret.

While creating a dent, the arc attached to the power glove also destroyed the metal protrusions distributed regularly on the outside of the turret armor.

These antenna-like things almost covered the entire turret and the body, and they were the key to allowing the deflection field generator to cover the entire body.

Because the HCP has a plasma propulsion array behind it, it cannot allow the deflection field to completely protect the body, and can only pull out a force field of about 270 degrees.

But the main battle tank that simply uses tracks to move has no such concerns. As this ancient weapon gradually rejuvenates its "second spring" in some special environments on the battlefield, major equipment manufacturers have also begun to "pile materials" on this veteran.

And Atlas is the fastest one at present.

Amber knew that the main battle tank would be redeveloped as the war progressed, because the cost of this thing was lower than that of the HCP, and the technical requirements were not as high as those of the HCP, so in the later period, many small forces could even collect materials and parts to "hand-make" by themselves.

In terms of the three major indicators of protection, firepower, and mobility, the protection index of the main battle tank is equal to or even slightly higher than that of the HCP.

In terms of firepower index, except for the inability to use heavy particle cannons, the killing effect of the electromagnetic reconnection cannon or plasma cannon equipped by it is not weak.

Compared with the HCP, the only shortcoming of the main battle tank is its maneuverability index. Although the main battle tanks currently in service can easily run at a speed of 70-80 kilometers per hour on paved roads, even in off-road environments. Maintain a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour.

However, the HCP's jumping ability, flexibility in making various human-like movements, and the use of the burst of plasma propulsion array to reach a sprint speed of Mach 1 in a short period of time can be said to overwhelm main battle tanks.

But even so, in some battles that do not require high mobility, such as position defense operations, main battle tanks can still occupy a place by virtue of their protection and firepower.

It's just that the armored platoon under General Lampard was really unlucky. Not only did it make it a taboo to let the enemy get close in urban warfare, but it also got close to a large power machine nearly five meters high. Armor.

After Baninger punched down, the deflection force field that the main battle tank was still maintaining first had a hole due to damage to the diversion metal parts on the side of the turret, and then as the Immortal Legion Commander continued Under the attack, the entire deflection force field was completely chaotic.

The final deflection field generator also triggered the emergency procedure - shut down and restart.

And this also gave other immortals the opportunity to attack.

As an orange-red ballistic trajectory rolled up a burst of air through the burning street, and accurately hit the first blow of the "first boarding" main battle tank, the high-speed flying alloy penetrating rod quickly passed through the vehicle body and crew compartment. , and after smashing the commander sitting in the middle, he plunged into the power compartment at the rear of the car body, eventually causing the entire superconducting battery stack to lose speed.

When the brilliant aurora-like plasma shot straight into the sky under the action of the tank's pressure relief device, Baninger also drove the Dauntless towards another target in the distance.

The left and right electromagnetic reconnection cannons on the back weapon racks were also deployed at the same time. At the moment when charging was about to end, Baninger made an emergency stop and deployed the auxiliary support hoes on the power armor legs.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The sound of charging and releasing was followed by two ear-piercing screams.

The piercing rods fired by the two electromagnetic reconnection cannons flew to the left and right towards another target directly in front of him. As soon as the main battle tank, which was turning its turret, aimed its muzzle, it was hit by the high-speed piercing rod. A blinding arc of electricity was sparked.

At this distance, the deflection force field is somewhat difficult to defend against kinetic energy weapons such as electromagnetic guns.

Although the crew had turned the power of the deflection field to the highest level when Baninger killed their teammates, the kinetic energy carried by the two high-speed penetrating rods fired at close range still exceeded the defense threshold of the deflection field.

After being slightly twisted to a certain angle, the two piercing rods still successfully passed through the deflection force field and bombarded the left and right 'cheeks' of the turret - and this is where the 'First Ascent' main battle tank has the highest physical defense of the entire vehicle. place

Another group of designers from Atlas Military Industry obviously considered some extreme situations, so they piled up defenses on this most important 'face to face'.

The final result was that the two high-speed penetrating rods fired by Baninger still failed to penetrate the turret armor after leaving a deep bullet mark on the left and right sides of the front of the turret.

Seeing the two balls of fire erupting after the hit, but finally flying away crookedly elsewhere, even Baninger couldn't help complaining at this moment:

"Fuck! Why do the company's foreign trade products have such good quality!"

Of course, complaints are complaints, and Baninger did not stand there waiting to be beaten. He put away the auxiliary support hoe and electromagnetic gun and quickly left the place with a lateral displacement.

This move also caused the target main battle tank to immediately counterattack based on the enemy's firing direction after being attacked, missing the best chance to hit.

This faster penetrating rod finally only scraped the side of the deflection field in front of Baninger, but the huge kinetic energy it carried still forcibly knocked the running Fearless to the ground.

The crew of another main battle tank that had not yet fired suddenly found that the only opportunity was right in front of them.

Their position was just on the other side of Baninger's sprint direction, which meant that this huge powered armor had its relatively fragile back exposed at this time.

The moment the sight in the sighting device was placed on the power armor that was getting up from the ground, the gunner of the main battle tank felt his whole body trembling with excitement.

The commander next to the gunner seemed to feel the emotional changes of the crew. Although he was very nervous at the moment, he still reminded:

"Be patient and don't get excited."

"boom!"

The next second, a loud noise came from above the vehicle body. The entire main battle tank directly crushed the paved road below under the huge impact. At the same time, the crawler running gear was also severely damaged, and the entire vehicle body was damaged. It tilted to one side.

That is to say, this foreign trade tank does not equip the helmets of the crew with the function of a comprehensive head-mounted display. Otherwise, the three people in the car can see another huge power armor stepping on their body as long as they look up. One of them The mechanical feet even stepped on the armor plate above the power pack until it collapsed.

Under this huge impact, the main battle tank's deflection field generator, power unit, main gun and other important equipment all malfunctioned.

Before the surviving crew members could recover, the power armor dropped from the sky and jumped off the body again. At the same time, it used a multi-function launcher to throw two hot-melt sticky bombs at the top of the tank's turret.

Accompanied by a special "hissing" sound, the high-temperature plasma formed a beam with huge heat that melted all the surrounding materials, including the armor on the top of the turret.

When a huge explosion sounded, the turret of the main battle tank was flipped aside. Memphis, who had completed the attack, looked in the direction of Baninger.

The immortal legion leader took out the plasma halberd that was originally folded and stored behind his back. He was standing next to the last main battle tank with the halberd in his hand. The electromagnetic reconnection gun in the center of the latter's turret had been cut off by the halberd, and the remaining half was hanging to the ground like an erection.

A bullet hole on the side of the turret also meant that it was "finished" by the team members hiding in the building responsible for long-range anti-armor missions.

"Done!"

Baninger's voice sounded in the communication channel, and he rushed in the direction where the three main battle tanks came from.

"Memphis, Andes, continue the attack with me and get rid of the remaining infantry fighting vehicles!

Grace! Try to establish a tactical neutrino communication network and reconnect with the other combat teams!"

Lilith's quantum entanglement communication equipment is generally used for long-distance communication, so only the captain of each team has the relevant equipment on board.

The complex electromagnetic environment on the ground and the need to maintain the confidentiality of communication, so the conventional microwave communication has been completely abandoned by the immortals.

In addition, after the immortals "descend" into the carrier, they cannot communicate in real time like in the virtual space, so they still need to rely on some other communication methods to maintain contact.

Since the distance inside the combat team is relatively close and basically within the visible range, the blue-green laser communication method will be adopted after the blue-green laser communication code is allocated.

But if you want to contact other combat teams farther away, you can only use this set of neutrino communication equipment that is still in the testing stage.

This technology was previously used on warships, satellites, or large HCPs such as ‘ATLAS’, but with the increasingly urgent need for communication technology by the Atlas ground combat forces, this technology was quickly miniaturized and put into testing.

“Captain of the Legion! We have contacted other combat teams! Except for Group D, which has not yet engaged the enemy, Groups B and C have repelled the enemy’s tentative attacks!”

“Very good! Tell them to continue to attack important targets as planned!” Baninger said while aiming at an armored infantry fighting vehicle that was speeding in the distance.

As the electromagnetic reconnection gun on the shoulder of the Dreadnaught flashed a flash of lightning, the orange-red trajectory ‘hit’ the firmly locked armored infantry fighting vehicle at lightning speed.

The piercing rod that hit from an oblique angle caused maximum damage to the interior of the vehicle, and while lifting the turret, it also almost tore the vehicle in two.

After confirming that the target had turned into a pile of burning debris on the plain, Baninger continued:

"Grace, after completing the communication, put out the reconnaissance terminal to confirm the situation in our next attack direction!"

"Received, Legion Commander!"

Soon, Grace, who was responsible for combat communications, put down the equipment storage box on the side of the weapon rack behind him.

Unlike the other three Dreadnoughts in the combat team that were mainly responsible for combat, the Dreadnought he drove cancelled the heavy equipment on one side of the weapon rack and replaced it with this storage box loaded with reconnaissance terminals.

As the laser communication device transmitted a code to the storage box, the latter was quickly opened with the help of the hydraulic rod, and Grace quickly operated to activate the reconnaissance terminal inside the storage box.

When these reconnaissance terminals, which were only the size of a baby's fist and looked like the "Golden Snitch", flew out of the storage box like a swarm of flies, they soon scattered under Grace's instructions, like a large net spread across the air, covering Baninger and his target point.
